Mason Hirsch SS

11/15/2018 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition at Pirate City (Ages 12-14) Mason is an athletic and talented 2025 SS prospect that worked hard all weekend. At SS, Mason is on time with his prep step, he presents a low/early glove, and fields the ball in front of his body. He creates angles and is aggressive to the ball. Continuing to long toss and work on game like throws in his throwing program will increase his arm strength and ability to throw from multiple arm angles. At the plate, Mason starts in a squared stance, loads his hands back into the drive position, and drives the ball gap to gap. He attacks the inside part of the ball, has backside rotation with his lower half, and creates whip in the barrel. Mason has a high baseball IQ and is eager to learn. This young prospect has a bright future and we hope to see his progress in the future.
